Open file doesn't work on Windows 7

Hello ,
I have this portion of code that should open a file and let windows decide what program to use for that :
Code 1 : Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler "+"c:/x.xls");
Code 2 : File f = new File("c:/x.xls");
Desktop.getDesktop().open(f);
None of this options opens the file , no error is caught , no nothing.
The result of RUN si "Buid succesfull".
Bouth CODE 1 and CODE 2 work on Windows Xp.
Do you have any suggestions ?
Thank you for your help !

Works fine for me. The actual code lines I tested with:try {
Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File("E:/drb/Docs/Personal/April2009.xls"));
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();

Hi. Whenever I want to upload a picture or a file, no matter how many times I press the "Upload" or "Browse" button, nothing happens. I can keep spam clicking on it and it wouldn't do anything. This is not specific to a site, but happens everywhere. Dragging and dropping files works on Facebook and Imgur, but not all websites support this. I'm using Firefox 31.0 on Windows 8.1. Yes, I have tried restarting Firefox and computer, this has been happening for a while now. Thanks.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.
*http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-windows-in-safe-mode/
This probably still applies to Windows 8:
Try to delete the MRU (Most Recently Used) ComDlg32 registry keys with the registry editor (regedit.exe).
Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32
Delete the subkeys (LastVisitedPidlMRU and OpenSavePidlMRU)
Be cautious with editing the registry as there is no Undo possible: all changes are applied immediately.
You can export registry keys before making changes.

Getting PDF files doesn't work on Windows 7?

Hi,
I had a working installation of Adobe Output Central v5.5 on a Windows 2000 machine. I then tried to move it to Windows 7 because we want to change the hardare.
I set up all programs to run as Windows 2000 under windows 7 (this is something you can decide with the standard functionalities of Windows 7) and all works, BUT, if I try to generate a PDF document I get the famous error [Invalid printer type (98)].
I use the -asppdf command line parameter to force PDF output and the PDF presentment target is compiled into the MDF file.
98 is the number that you can read in the "Printer Type" parameter in the pdf.ics file.
If I comment out that line in the ICS file, the PDF file is produced, but it's corrupted, so it's not readable with any PDF reader.
Any idea?
Manyt thanks in advance.

Have you tested an external mouse as I already suggested?
You can try to install Value Added Package for another Portege series notebook. Just search a little bit on the Toshiba website.
In worst case you have to restore factory settings (preinstalled OS). There should the mouse working properly.

Read From Binary File doesn´t work on MCB2400 in LV2009 Embedded ARM

Hello,
I try to read a Binary File from SD-Card on my MCB2400 Board with LV2009 Embedded for ARM.
But the output is always 0, if I use my VI on the MCB2400. If use the same VI on the PC it works fine with the same binary file.
The
access to the SD-Card on the MCB2400 works in other cases finde, if I
try to read from a text-file it works without any problems.
Are thre any constraints for the "Read From Binary File"-Node in Embedded in comparison to the same node on PC ?
I have noticed that there is also a problem
with the reading of textfiles. If the sice of the file is about 100Byte
it doesn´t work anymore, too. I can´t understand it, because I read
always just one Byte. And even if the implementation in Labview is so
bad that it allways reads the total file in the ram it sould work. The
MCB2400 has 32MegaByte RAM, so 100Byte or even a few MegaByte should
work.
But this doesn´t seem to be the Problem for the Binary-Problem. Because even a 50byte Binary-File doesn´t work.
bye & thanks

Hello,
thank you for your Help.
But I just want to read a Binary File, which is build by another program. And this is coded with 8Bit (like a normal Binary File) and not just with 7Bit (ASCII). So the workaround doesn't work in my case.
I posted the Test-VI in my first post (here once again as picture). And it works fine on the PC, but if I try it on my MCB2400 the "Read Form Binary File" Node doesn't work.
And it is also possible to open the Bin file with the "Read Text File" Node and see the cryptic content of the Bin-File. So the Problem seems to be in the "Read Form Binary File" Node.
bye & thanks again

"Email me" doesn't work in Windows

Has anyone found that the "Email me" button doesn't work on Windows machines? I have just been told by one or two visitors to my website (www.aroundthebusch.com) who use Windows that the buttons didn't work.

It may be a Flash Security issue... upload SWF to server, open it to browser from there and try your links again...
Here´s one SWF exported from indesign (links to email at page 3):

Set columns in the "Open file..." Finder window

Hi,
When selecting "Open File..." from the File menu in all my apps, the Finder opens a window with the columns:
Name - Date Added - Kind - Size
I just want to change the column Date Added to Date Modified. I have done it for my Finder windows in Finder options, but i does not work in the "Open File..." finder window... and it's pretty annoying for me!
Thanks for any help.

Try going to your Home folder, bring up the Finder's view options, select Date Modified and click on Use As Defaults button. All of of my Open windows display the Modified Date as the only date.

Hi candy, glad that you found that Shockwave Flash Object, it works with the Flash files and is very important
The NPSWF files that you said are not there, those are for the Firefox browser or Chrome or some other browser. If you use Firefox and want the Flash Player for that, then close all of your browsers so you are only looking at your Desktop.
Click on this Flash Player Installer for Firefox and SAVE it to your Desktop. Then RUN it from your Desktop, and after it is finished Installing, Restart your computer.
Then Using Firefox go to the plug-ins and find a SWF vs 10.0.45.2 and make sure it is Enabled. This is just like the Shockwave Flash Object for Internet Explorer, but it is the one that works with Firefox.
Let me know if that is what you wanted to do. If you don't use Firefox, but Chrome or another browser, then this will work for that one also.
If you don't use another browser, then don't do any of this. I just thot maybe you did and that is why you were concerned that the NPSWF files were not there.
Thanks,

HP Deskjet 2512 Director doesn't work on Windows 7? Is there a fix?

HP Deskjet 2512 Director doesn't work on Windows 7? Is there a fix? All that happens is two text pages open, but no Director. I have downloaded and installed latest full software version DJ2510_1313. Any help for this?
This question was solved.

Hi DJ2512,
I understand you have a Deskjet 2512 that is not able to open the Printer Assistant, it opens to text pages. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will definitely do my best to assist you!
From what you've described, it sounds like your Printer Assistant is opening to a Notepad page. I'd suggest that you follow this HP Printer Assistant Opens with a Script Error or in Notepad document to get the issue resolved.
Hope this helps, have a great day!!

Rich Textbox example doesn't work in Windows 7

In the past I use the Rich Textbox example (\samples\userint\activex\richTextxbox.prj) in Windows XP (CVI 2010 SP1).
Now I noticed that this example doesn't work in Windows 7 64-bit because the ActiveX is not registered on the system (see attached error.jpg).
Isn't this control installed by CVI IDE itself?
How can I get this example working on my Win 7 64-bit machine?

Hi Vix
It looks like the Rich Textbox control component provided by one of the VB runtimes is no longer included by default with Windows 7.
I have been able to manually register the ActiveX control using Regsvr32 as described in the following Microsoft KB.
I was able to download the needed ActiveX control from here and from there you need to copy the .ocx ActiveX control to your C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory. Open up a command prompt as administrator and run 'REGSVR32 RICHTX32.OCX'.
SysWOW64 is the 'Windows On Windows' emulation directory which is used for running 32 bit controls in a 64 bit environment.
I realise this isn't the best solution as it will make application deployment a little more complicated, another solution may be to use another RTF ActiveX control such as the one here: http://www.lebans.com/richtext.htm.

Lync screen sharing doesn't work in Windows 10 Technical Preview (9879 Build)

Why Lync screen sharing doesn't work in Windows 10 Technical Preview?
It works well Windows 8.1, but why not in Windows 10?

Hi PriTeddy,
Thanks for your feedback.
As Paul Adare said, Microsoft has noticed such issue, they are listed in following blog:
http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2014/11/12/new-build-available-to-the-windows-insider-program/
Some known problems:
As with the last build, you’re getting hot-off-the-presses code which means there are a few issues. We’ll be publishing WU updates shortly to fix the first two, but the remainder will not be fixed for 9879.
•In some cases you may get a black screen when trying to log-in or unlock. The only option is to hold the power button to hard reboot.
•You will be unable to connect to Distributed File System network locations.
•Some systems may see disk growth of 20GB+ due to driver install duplication. On systems with low disk space this can block setup and cause a rollback to the previous build.
•Skype calls will disconnect and Music will stop playing if those apps are minimized.
•There are several known issues with screen sharing with Lync.
Let’s wait for next builds.

Jar file doesn't work

I am quite new to java so I hope my question is not stupid.
I used bluej to realize an application.It works when executing the main method in bluej,but when I create the jar file,it simpy doesn't work.I have included the main class when creating the jar file.When double-clicking on the jar file, it makes the typical error sound of windows,but it doesn't show any message.
What is the problem?

Welcome to the Sun forums.
Subject: My Applet Jar file doesn't work !! .
1) Note that one '!' denotes exclamation, whereas 2 or more often denotes a dweeb.
2) Since you are on your first post, I will point out that applets are an advanced topic, and should not be attempted by newbies.
3) "doesn't work" is very vague. It is likely to produce a reply like "maybe the applet is lazy - try flogging it".
Amera wrote:
..I have written this java applet :When posting code, code snippets, HTML/XML or input/output, please use the code tags. The code tags help retain the formatting and indentation of the sample. To use the code tags, select the sample and click the CODE button.
Also note that the most preferred form of code is an SSCCE *(<- link).* In an SSCCE, your would remove all but one button (if the actionPerformed fails with 6 or 7 buttons, trim it down to fail with just one or two.
i made a jar file :So does the applet work before you make the Jar file? Your post so far suggests the Jar file is the problem.
i created a file and named it MANIFEST.MF .i wrote inside it :
Main-Class: test
Then i placed it in a folder with the test.class .I created jar file using command line.
I entered the test.class path and then wrote this command :
jar cvfm myjar.jar MANIFEST.MF *.class
Then the jar file "myjar.jar" is created .
it's executed but this function "public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) " won't wrok.
i keep pressing the buttons but nothing is happening !!So you get 'no output in the console & no effect in the applet'?
What is the URL where I can see your applet failing?
As an aside, since Sun does not guarantee that applet clients will act on the showDocument command, even if it does not work, it would not be a 'bug'.

Backlight doesn`t work on Windows Seven~ Please help!!

Does anyone know how to turn it on??

It is working properly now. it was a problem with classpath

there in the install docs + sp11 readme. It is all fine.

Make sure that u have the latest service pack jar file ( for example weblogic510sp11.jar
for service pack 11 - use service pack 8 or later for better NTREALM configuration
) ahead of the weblogicaux.jar in your classpath. This should solve the problem.

The ADF Mobile preview pane doesn't work under Windows 8.

The ADF Mobile preview pane doesn't work under Windows 8 64bit even I use Jdeveloper version 11.1.2.4.0,but I use windows 7 64bit or windows xp works fine.
How to fix it, please.
Thanks !

Hi,
I installed JDeveloper 11.1.2.4 on my Windows 8 machine and then the ADF Mobile extension. I can open the previewer for ADF Mobile. So there is no problem with this on Windows 8. I used the generic installation, which is that I installed the JDK and then run the Java -jar command for the JDeveloper install.

Bookmark Open File Action not working on MAC OSX

We are getting the following error when trying to open different files that start find in Finder:
could not find an application to open the file 'xxxxx'
We tried a simple MAC OS Application.app file, a terminal app script and in both cases we get the above error. These same files start up without issue on a click in Finder.
The Open File action "DOES" work on an Microsoft Office File... but does not work for a Mac Application.App file or a AppleScript script file.
Can anyone share how to get Open File to work with some type of script file or application file on the MAC OS with Adobe Reader 11 ?

We ended up having to create an App on the MAC OS with an "associated" file type and then use the Bookmark Open File Action on files of that type. This followed what worked for opening Office files on the MAC from the Bookmark Open File Action.
My question was ... on Windows we could use the Bookmark Open File Action to open up "applications" or "bat scripts" directly... but this does not appear to be supported on the MAC. We could not "start" an app or a script directly from the Bookmark Open File Action. We had to set the action to open a file and then handle that file in the associated application we created for that filetype on the MAC.
Thank you for your question,
James
